Gotta love those MPs

So after the warm-up act of Anthony Steen claiming we were all just jealous of his big house we get Nadine Dorries.

Ah Nadine Dorries always good for a laugh - "What the Telegraph are executing is almost a McCarthy-style witch-hunt" yep that's right going after all these law-abiding citizens who just happened to claim money for things they shouldn't, all after trying to keep the public from finding out.

But that's okay because "So, to my constituents and no one else, I am sorry." yep just ignore the fact that it's been all of us and not just your constituents that's been funding your lifestyle. So how sorry is she?

Well according to her the Additional Costs Allowance (ACA) has "always been counted as part of an MP's salary" "always been known and has always been counted as part of an MP's salary" "It has always been the way it has been done and everyone knows that,"

Oh well that's all right then if everybody does it, then it can't be wrong. Someone please point her to the history section concerning the Nuremberg trials and see how far 'everyone else was doing it' got them.

So there we are happily digging graves for these MPs when they come along grab a spade and start helping us out - nice to be truly equal for once. Well at least until their party leader comes along and asks them what the hell they think they're doing.

If we keep on at this rate of deselections and resignations there won't be anyone left from the front benches left in Parliament - oh wouldn't that be a shame?
